    I have a 3 speed transmission with an older floor shifter unit. Shifter unit was rebuilt a couple years ago and has been mostly great. I had some issues getting into reverse last year, butg was able to remedy this problem by going through my linkage and adjusting. This year the Bronco has...

    Bronco Designs Hard Bikini Top

    I don't drive my Bronco in the winter here in new England and I don't drive it in the rain (or at least I try). I generally run it roadster style with a bikini top and no doors. I am pretty happy with that setup, but I have been thinking of going over to the Bronco designs Hard Bikini Top. I...

    Replica dash knobs

    I've been doing a bunch of custom stereo stuff and in the course of that found myself modifying lots of knobs, both factory and the aluminum ones from WH. It was enough so that I decided, mostly for the hell of it, to try my hand at making my own. Took a little bit of dialing in (see what I did...

    All in one bluetooth unit using stock faceplate

    Last year, I spent some time working out a mod to keep the stock faceplate for volume control but add bluetooth connectivity and delete the bulky radio body. I was very happy with it and used it all season. Despite being pleased with it, the mod left some things to be desired. In order to...

    Knob functions on stock radio?

    I'm doing some work with the stock radio faceplate, but most of mine is apart or tossed.. I am wondering what the two knobs and the outside knob/ring/switch on the left do. One obviously is volume and the other tuning, which is which?

    Soft top bow silencer kit

    Been working on this little silencer kit for the soft top bows. Fit feels pretty good and snug and it was nice and quiet for the small ride I took it on before I pulled my brakes apart. Sending a couple to some friends so they can do some testing for me also!

    Long time, first time: My 74 Build Thread

    Well as the title says, after 14 years on this forum and on my second Bronco I have decided to start my first build thread. I have long been a fan of this forum for both the recorded knowledge and community access it provides and the more time I spend here, the more a build thread seems to make...

    Rear brake caliper ID HELP

    I have one thing left before I can pass inspection here in MA and it is restoring function to my parking brake. Bronco came with 4 wheel disc conversion installed, but I don't know what they are. I switched out the front pads successfully last year and so I have a good ID on those. I THOUGHT the...

    Sun Visors with Dual Electric Wiper motors?

    When I got my Bronco, it had an aftermarket single motor electric wiper setup. There were no sun visors installed. Since then, I have moved over to the dual electric wiper motor setup. I would like to add sun visors, and I am curious what people have for non-stock sun visors, or what people...

    MA Pre Runner bumper in MA

    Pulling this from my Bronco. Very nice pre Runner style bumper. It's a plate mount, so doesn't mount via frame horns. Paint is in very good shape, but not perfect. If you're wheeling your bronco, it's prettier than anything else you've got on there. Selling for 300 local pickup, no shipping.

    stock faceplate bluetooth upgrade

    I have been mulling this over for a while and finally got it to a point where I feel like it is finished enough to share. Music is a huge part of my experience driving the Bronco and obviously the factory radio isn't really going to do it for most of us,but we have all been witness to the...

    Best move for rusted body mount/core support

    Looking for advice on best next steps here. Pulled my battery tray yesterday to get a better look at my troublesome front passenger body mount. The frame/mount look OK (to me at least) but the thinner body metal of the inner fenderwell and the attachment points to the core support are rusted...

    Rampage black crush bikini top?

    My Bronco came with both the bestop and rampage/stc style windshield headers installed. The only top it came with is the Bestop Black Crush bikini top. I ordered and installed a new Rampage soft top, and removed the Bestop windshield riser in the process. I run a bikini top most of the time, and...

    Rustoleum Smokey Beige

    This color was recommended by a member of a Bronco Facebook group I belong to as a pretty good stand in for the dash Parchment White color. I am wondering if anyone here has heard of or used it. Closest can is a ways away from me....

    Ford thunderbird console swap/build

    Sooooooo, on the "what have you done to your Bronco today" thread a few weeks back, someone posted a pic of a Bronco they saw at a car show in Florida. It had a 64-66 Thunderbird console in it, and I thought the look was spot on. I currently have a tuffy stereo console in my '74 that came with...

    Going back to factory bumpers

    I've been going in circles in my head on bumpers... I like the look of the factory chrome bumpers, and I have a pair new in the box, BUT my Bronco came with a pretty sweet black pre-runner style bumper and the interior has a lot of black, as well as the fender flares. The other day, I thought I...

    Synchronized Dual Electric Wiper Motors (links, pics, write up)

    My first Bronco had the stock electric wipers. I didn’t run a wiper cover and thought the exposed linkage was VERY cool for all its wacky mechanical goodness. But tastes change, and like many, I now find having that big motor in your face is really distracting. I’ve seen the write up on the...
